[Chapter 08: New Year's Flavor] (1) Hope

As early as when sorting out the information of "Shrek", Tang Qingyou felt very strange, how to position the audience of this story? After consulting around, in the end, the entire Nanshan Grand Theater felt that this musical should be aimed at young people mainly college students rather than children. As a result, this musical, as the finale of the opening season of the Nanshan Grand Theater, has turned from an inspirational drama into a tragedy. It's the winter vacation, the college town is empty, high school students are going to cram school as always, and the Spring Festival has counted down, traditional companies are working overtime to make the final sprint, and a small number of innovative enterprises with a more active atmosphere are on holiday in advance, all in all, as the weather freezes day by day, the population in the city is becoming sparser, and the main audience group is not strong, and the promotion of "Shrek" is facing a huge challenge.

As early as before the press conference, the box office data constantly reminded everyone at the Nanshan Grand Theater that the sales data of "Shrek" was going very slowly. Tang Qingyou, as the director of brand and publicity, that is, the person in charge of marketing, saw the indifferent expression of his boss Xie Zhengyun, and had to take the first step to get anxious. Unable to urge Xie Zheng to make any constructive decisions, she changed her course and urged Xie Zheng to gather the people of the entire operation center and hold a special meeting.

If there is someone in this world who was born to be a leader, then this person is Xie Zheng. Xie Zheng presided over the special meeting for two hours, and everyone was deeply encouraged, from the box office to publicity to major customers to brands, all of them felt that today's box office dismal was attributed to their salaries and did not do a good job. In particular, Yao Wei, the director of key accounts, was nominated at the meeting, "Large projects should have big customers, why not?" He was speechless when asked by Xie Zheng.

As for Tang Qingyou, she was the only one who was named and praised at the meeting, nothing more than being conscientious and responsible, etc., but because she also served as the director of publicity and branding, under the grading bombardment of Xie Zheng's extremely logical project market operation analysis, she suffered two rounds of blows in succession, and she was already depressed before the meeting ended. So after the meeting ended, she became the only one who was "left in the court" by Xie Zheng.

Tang Qingyou didn't have time to guess Xie Zheng's purpose of leaving her to chat, so Xie Zheng directly handed it over. Xie Zheng urged her to draw up a summary report of the operation of the opening season as soon as possible, "It's best to sort it out before the end of the performance of "Shrek", especially emphasizing that she should write beautifully: "Whether I can leave this bird place as soon as possible depends on this report." ”

Tang Qingyou was very surprised, the Nanshan Grand Theater had just opened, it should be a moment when everyone was in high spirits and gearing up, Xie Zheng defined this as a "bird place", what went wrong?

Xie Zheng never concealed his words, and directly complained to her: "I really don't want to be a colleague with Ouyang Zhi's idiot, I have her to stir up the situation, and I don't have to play." ”

Tang Qingyou didn't think Ouyang was stupid, and he didn't know what she was messing with Xie Zheng, so it was not easy to answer, so he smiled.

Xie Zheng didn't expect Tang Qingyou to take such a great opportunity and didn't seize it, so he refused to stand in line in person, he felt bored, and added: "Don't believe it, she is the kind of hen that occupies the nest and lays eggs, and she can only have the final say in the whole nest." Have you ever seen a hen recognize its nest? ”

Tang Qingyou was stopped by this face-splitting question, and quickly shook his head. She grew up in the city since she was a child, and she didn't work hard and didn't distinguish between grains and grains, where did she see any hens recognize their nests?

Xie Zheng actually popularized the knowledge of agriculture and sideline industry for her seriously: "The current farm chickens are all large-scale, and a row of chickens, ducks and geese are lined up neatly in a trough. In the past, people raised chickens were free-range, a hen a nest, the hen is also very hypocritical, you laid a grass nest for it, it is not dry, you have to go in person and roll a few times, the whole nest is its taste, that is done, and then it will lay an egg a day into the nest, the egg is almost laid, and the chicks will be hatched. At this time, not to mention the grass nest, it is surrounded by its territory, you dare to go to its territory, it dares to be anxious with you, you dare to touch its eggs, peck you to death! ”

Tang Qingyou was stunned after hearing it, she didn't understand Xie Zheng's humor, in her opinion, this was a biological natural reaction, how could it become the inferior root of the species when she came to Xie Zheng? She thought about it, and finally praised Xie Zheng heartily and appropriately: "Mr. Xie, you know so much, even the daily life of the hen has been studied so thoroughly!" ”

"Hey, it's not my old man, I used to take me to visit and study when I went to the grassroots level, and I was assigned homework to let me write my thoughts on learning when I went home!"

Tang Qing laughed leisurely: "It turns out that Mr. Xie always had a troubled childhood. ”

"Now it's the worst of the water!" Xie Zheng said with a little resentment, "It's so annoying, I just sent one away, and I have to stuff another one again." ”

Tang Qingyou chuckled in his heart, and his smile suddenly stopped: "Our department is going to have a newcomer again?" "Almost all the positions are in place, and the remaining vacant posts are not her set goal, the director position?

Xie Zheng saw that her expression was different, and immediately reassured: "Don't worry, I blocked it back." got a secondary school student over, and as soon as she came, she wanted an important middle-level position, how could she be so cheap. As he spoke, his eyes gathered a little more, confirmed Tang Qingyou's eyes, and continued to increase: "Besides, does she treat me as a dead person?" Are you wronged with the rest of the department? Hmph, even if I wanted to withdraw, it wasn't that fast. I have to do something here to get the leaders to approve it, and then wait for the theater to take over a new theater, so that I can justifiably transfer to the past. Don't worry, I'll make arrangements for you before you go. ”

Probably because Xie Zheng's chat mode always gives people the feeling of "talking casually", Tang Qingyou has never been able to take Xie Zheng's promise seriously, and he laughs it every time.

Tang Qingyou is not good at gossiping, so he continued to put all his energy into work, pulling Xie Zheng to mobilize the people of the entire operation center and go all out for the last project of the year. Xie Zheng put pressure on the key account executive and the box office according to her wishes, and at the same time urged her to ask for an operation report, which almost became a "deal", and the ending was a happy one. This project meeting did make a breakthrough, everyone worked hard to do various channels of publicity, although the natural box office did not increase significantly, it can be regarded as a steady increase, and the last booster is that Yao Wei talked back a few group orders, everyone smiled, and the green monster face of Shrek at the press conference also became particularly flattering.

Five days and seven performances soon passed, and the opening season of the Nanshan Grand Theater came to an end, and the theater opened steadily. With only two days left before Chinese New Year's Eve, Ren Taichu presided over a plenary meeting and announced a holiday.

After two months of nervous collapse, she suddenly relaxed, Tang Qingyou was a little at a loss, and spent a whole day doing storage and cleaning, and when it was dark, she finally put a room of sundries in place and completed the cleaning, she turned on the dehumidifier and ordered a takeaway that she frequented, and then began to start her empty brain and began to plan how she was going to celebrate the New Year.

It stands to reason that during the Chinese New Year, it should be to go back to my hometown and get together with my parents and family. But since she went to college, she has completely lost her home, except for the Spring Festival of her freshman year, she accompanied her mother to Macau, and the Spring Festival of her sophomore year, she went to Lijiang for a whole cold winter vacation, and every Spring Festival after that, she could only count on Tu Yiran not to go on a business trip, so that someone would accompany her for the New Year.

However, in front of him, there were four walls, and the doorbell finally rang, but it was the takeaway brother who came to deliver the food, Tang Qingyou couldn't help but feel depressed, and when he heard the little brother happily worship his early years, he reluctantly gave a smile back.

After the takeaway brother handed the lunch box to Tang Qingyou, he glanced at the empty room, pulled down the sanitary mask, revealed a young and emotional face, and said with concern: "The day after tomorrow, it's Chinese New Year's Eve, Miss Tang, are you on holiday?" ”

Tang Qingyou nodded.

The takeaway brother poured beans into a bamboo tube and chatted with himself: "After a hard year, I went home for this trip for the New Year, everyone is the same, I will also take leave tomorrow, today is my last day to deliver food, Miss Tang, you are my last customer this year!" ”

Tang Qingyou nodded again, with a little smile: "It's an honor." ”

The takeaway brother was encouraged and continued to report to his home: "I won't deliver food next year!" I got my driver's license and I'm going to drive a taxi next year! His words were full of energy, and his expression was full of anticipation for the future.

"Very good, congratulations!" Tang Qingyou was inexplicably infected, and sighed with emotion: "Make your own decisions in your own life, do what you like, no matter how small your achievements are, you will be happy." ”

"Hey, I don't know if I like it or not. However, driving is more than the income of food delivery, and it is more formal, and the taxi company also pays insurance, so I go to drive, and my family will have more hope! ”

"Well, it feels much better to be someone else's support than to count on someone else."

"That's it!" The takeaway brother looked a little proud, "Men are meant to be in charge!" But Miss Tang, you don't need it, you see that you are beautiful and have a good job, there is no need to carry such a tiring thing by yourself, find a good husband and your life will be complete! ”

Tang Qingyou was speechless for an instant.

After all, the takeaway brother has seen a lot of people, and his ability to observe words and emotions is very good, and when he saw that Tang Qingyou's expression was wrong, he quickly stopped: "Miss Tang wishes you a happy meal!" We'll see you next year! As he spoke, he pressed the elevator down button.

"Thank you, see you next year!" Tang Qingyou replied smoothly, and when the delivery brother entered the elevator, he couldn't help but smile, the city is so big, so indifferent, no one even knows the surname of the neighbor next door, what are the chances of meeting this little brother again? But at this moment, his optimism easily encouraged Tang Qingyou.

Probably because the small talk of the takeaway brother gave her enough inspiration, she opened her mobile phone while eating dinner, booked a set of full-price round-trip air tickets, booked a dead expensive hotel double room, and flew directly to Macau the next day.

Macau is not Tang Qingyou's hometown, but it is now her mother's permanent residence.

She has a father and a mother, but her parents have their own homes, her grandparents are not close, and her grandparents have passed away, so she has always lived alone.

Her father has never seen her all year round, and if she still has relatives in the real sense of the word in this world, it can only be her mother, Ms. Tang Ying.
